Amy Adams! She played Susan in Talladega Nights and played Brenda Strong in Catch Me If You Can. I've seen Patrick Dempsey in the television series Grey's Anatomy and also in the romantic comedy Made of Honor (in-flight movie between Maryland and California). James Marsden played Scott Summers (Cyclops) from the X-Men movies, John Wilkes Booth from Zoolander (2001), and Richard White from Superman Returns. Timothy Spall! (Harry Potter and Sweeney Todd)

The songs catch on quickly. I love the character development throughout the movie. Especially Giselle who starts out from a completely different world and behaves so differently from the people of New York (stereotyped). I quickly got into the movie, mainly because I love these types of movies.

For example, when the Ogre sings, "True... love's... kiss..." Or the song I heard before I even watched Enchanted: "That's How You Know." I love the beat in that song. It's hilarious when Robert says, "He knows the song too? I've never heard this song before! What the hell is it?"

Alan Menken's music is awesome.

I didn't read my post above and so I was surprised for a second time to look up on IMDb.com that James Marden played Scott Summers (Cyclops) in the X-Men movies.

I only watched the movie once before today, but I have listened to the soundtrack a number of times and as a consequence felt like I've see the movie the movie many times already. My sister says she's probably seen it at least ten times by now. That created a strong desire for me to watch it. However, between Enchanted and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006), I decided to watch the more serious-toned Letters from Iwo Jima first.

Enchanted is a great family movie, a great love story, a great musical, and simply magical. It has a great cast, a unique introduction, and a unique ending. Musicals are great movies to watch again and again, and this movie is no exception. If you haven't seen Enchanted before, and any of the previous descriptors tickles your fancy, please give the movie a chance.
